Well, I think I've figured it out.  Once I removed FormCreate and 
FormDestroy events everything seems to work fine.  When I say removed, I 
mean completely commented or deleted from the source.

I'm reasonably confident that this is the case because when I re-inserted 
them, the problems came back.  I was also surprised that just having them 
there (not hooked up to the dfm), caused issues.  Perhaps somebody with more 
knowledge can shed light on this.

Anyhow, I'm very happy to have this figured out, and Gerrit, thanks again 
for your help.
